I don't like exaggeration so I'll say this. The two worst people on earth are currently batting.

How good is this crowd and atmosphere at Eden Park? #magic #CWC15 pic.twitter.com/ayuk62mcGL

Has Warner changed his name officially to Daveywarner (one word)? I'm guessing so, based on the commentators. #NZvAus
— Warwick Rasmussen (@WasRasMus) February 28, 2015
"Half the ball needs to be hitting the bails" Warnie doesn't understand DRS either

Eden Park reacts to Warner's dismissal, fairly happy with it! ^RI https://t.co/nznBMpmZAD

How small are David Warner's pads? Who makes them, Stayfree? #AUSvNZ #CWC15

After this World Cup, Dan Vettori will go on a New Zealand Rugby-approved 3.5 year sabbatical to remain fit for the 2019 World Cup

We did have Aus 84-7 in 03 and still lost.

How does smashing minnows like this get us prepared for the knockout rounds though? #NZvAus

Australia's first 50 was scored in 33 balls for 1 wicket, the second 50 was scored off 79 balls (I think) for 5. #roughmaths #NZvAus
— Warwick Rasmussen (@WasRasMus) February 28, 2015
Clarke gone now. 104-7. This is England-esque. #NZLvAUS

Has anyone pinched themselves on the sly in the last 30 minutes?

Which are the four Aussie batsmen that Darren Lehman said are as good as McCullum

Been trying to figure out what to say for the last half hour. I've got nothing. Unbelievable. Absolute scenes. #BlackCaps #cricketfever

Gonna change one of the kids' names to Trent. @BLACKCAPS #NZLvAUS

Please, please cut to a shot of Martin Crowe doing the 'finish them' signal! #NZvAus #topitoff
— Warwick Rasmussen (@WasRasMus) February 28, 2015
Niggly tenth wicket partnerships are up there with war and poverty for me tbh. #NZLvAUS

I feel sorry for the people watching the game in Perth- it'll be all finished before midday! #AusvNZ

It's just Hadden and the bowlers now....

This is turning out to be that epic night you had planned for weeks and you're vomiting by 8pm!

Amazing ovation for Martin Crowe as he is inducted into @ICC Hall of Fame at Eden Park #cwc15 #AUSvNZ https://t.co/VPpDAHA5Hp

How this game can change. Aussie were 106/9 and now they're in this #NZVAUS
— Jason Pine (@pineyzb) February 28, 2015
Great line from Stephen Boock: When we played test matches with Martin Crowe we thought 'he needs to go up a grade'.
— Ant Salmon (@antsalmon) February 28, 2015
Just saw someone walking to the game wearing an Australian shirt with Ronchi's name on the back. I honestly don't know who he's supporting.

I was so close to letting Australia win. But then I remembered, you know, Abbott. #AUSvsNZ #CWC15
